Mono Printing from Nature

Event Details

Sunday 3 May 2026

10am to 4pm | £95 per person

Suitable for beginners, learn how to mono print using natural materials, or develop your printmaking skills further.

About the workshop

Explore mono printing, and learn how to print both positive and negative impressions from natural materials such as flowers, leaves and fern. You will explore colour mixing, shape, texture, layering and composition, and also be shown how to add abstract elements to your prints using cut stencils and relief printing techniques.

This course is suitable for beginners as well as those who want to further develop their printmaking and composition skills. You will create a wide range of small prints and will also have the chance to consolidate your learning and produce a larger final print.

All materials and equipment will be provided but please feel free to bring along a selection of natural materials from your own garden. 

You may like to bring an apron to protect your clothes.
